As a community center with members ranging from ages 3 to 93, the Riekes Center serves as a fitness, art and learning hub for anyone to join. For nearly 30 years, the center has mentored professional football players, award-winning artists, paralympians and more. 

The Riekes Center is Menlo Park’s “best kept secret,” said Executive Director Caroline McNally.
